Pump Station Automation System

Introduction

Pump station automation systems (PSAS) is designed for control,
protection and management of process equipment of a pump station.
PSAS maintains optimum operation mode independently. Operation can
be performed locally at the pump station or via a telemetry system
from other customer's facilities.

Scope of Automation

pump station (composed of main pumping units with electric
motors, booster pumping units with electric motors, inlet/outlet
automated valves of main and booster pumping units);

automated valves;

automatic outlet pressure regulating system;

station junction point;

bearing lubrication systems of pumping units;

pumping room ventilation system;

system of electric room supporting ventilation;

leakage pumpout system.

Main Features

automatic control of all necessary process variables, equipment
condition and indoor environment parameters;

automatic protection of process equipment;

independent maintaining of optimum operation modes for main and
secondary process equipment;

visualization and registration of the main process variables
and parameters characterizing equipment condition during normal
operation, maintenance and commissioning;

data processing and transmitting to telemetry system.

Structure

PSAS has a centralized three-level architecture. PSAS meets
typical requirements to control systems:

high reliability due to distributed self-diagnostics and
redundant critical units;

ease of use due to process programming and object-oriented
control;

integration of diverse data collection channels in one
system.

Benefits

Flexibility

The system can be completed by modules allowing solving
different automation tasks.

Versatility

The system features compatibility with numerous filed devices
from various vendors.

Functionality

The system components provide for additional operation modes
(simulation, testing and masking) and other features, such as
unauthorized access protection and event logging to monitor
personnel actions.
